{{The Kinshasa government and M23 rebel movement are expected to sign an agreement on March 15 in Kampala, Uganda, a move that would bring an end to talks that began in December 2012, Congolese Potentiale newspaper reported.}}<\/p>\n
The agreement would have M23 fighters integrated into the FARDC force as was the case with CNDP in 2009.<\/p>\n
Sources say that Kinshasa government would only absorb M23 rebels not above the rank of Lieutenant. <\/p>\n
M23 rebels above the rank of Leuitnant would consider demoblising to civilian life.<\/p>\n
Kinshasa also proposes that M23 military chiefs affected by UN sanctions would also be granted amnesty in an agreement with the Parliament.<\/p>\n
However, the break away faction led by Bishop Runiga the former political head of M23 has strongly opposed the reintegration of M23 fighters into the national army. <\/p>\n
The faction under Brigadier Sultani Makenga is willing to sign this agreement with Kinshasa government.<\/p>\n
President Joseph Kabila is said to be in consultation with members of parliamentary majority on the forthcoming deal with M23 movement.<\/p>\n
Brig. Sultani Makenga the military leader of the M23 Movement is also consulting with his Leutenants at their base in Bunagana on the border with Uganda.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the faction loyal to Jean-Marie Runiga, deposed President of M23 are said to be preparing for the possibility of an attack on the coalition between Congolese FARDC troops and faction loyal to Brig. Makenga.<\/p>\n
However, according to Col. Mirindi Seraphin, spokesman for the pro-Runiga faction of M23 has condemned as unfortunate alliance between Kinshasa and Makenga.<\/p>\n
Col.Mirindi considering the Kinshasa alliance with Brig. Makenga will torpedo negotiations Kampala.<\/p>\n
He says, \u201cWe learned that the Chief of Army Staff of the Congolese army, Gen. Francois Olenga is preparing basic operations in Goma, in anticipation of an attack on our positions\u201d.<\/p>\n
The attack is said to be a coalition with the Rwandan rebels of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), Mai-Mai militias and men Sultani Makenga. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey will be held responsible for any deterioration of the security situation in the Kivu,\u201d Col. Mirindi warned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
